1. Pfft! That was great. :) nt

[Individualist]

2. Suggest you edit

The Belafonte song title was Banana Boat Song, not Banana Boy. :hi:

Love your lyrics!

[nostamj]

3. "I know that!"

"Of course I know that!"

pssssstt......... it's part of the joke. and glad you liked the lyrics!

[coalition_unwilling]

4. Awesome satire--thanks

I actually saw Kerry suppress a giggle on the split screen when Bush started spouting 'Pay Go' over and over.

[nostamj]

5. thanks! and i agree

kerry was having a hard time keeping a straight face while * couldn't keep this face straight...

[eleny]

6. Given his politics...

I think Belafonte would get a big kick out of this. Great satire! The "It's a lie - exaggeration" line is priceless.

P.S. I still have the original album.

[nostamj]

19. got an email addy?

maybe he'll sing it at a kerry rally... ;-)

[BiggJawn]

7. I like Paygo!

They make the best Red Pop...:-)

[nostamj]

13. thought that was FayGo

and then there's that homosexual repellant approved by wingnuts, FeyGo

[BiggJawn]

16. Well, if "Day-Oh" can become "Paygo".....

:-)

[nostamj]

17. with me, anything can become anything!

;-)

you should see what I've done to classic Beatles lyrics!

[BiggJawn]

23. I can imagine!

:7

[nostamj]

24. one sample...........

To the tune of “Paperback Writer” (and with apologies to the Beatles)

FLIP-FLOPPING LIAR

I HEARD THE RIGHT WING AND THEIR LATEST SPIN
SAYING KERRY WAFFLES AND THAT’S SUCH A SIN
IT’S BASED ON THE FAXES FROM A MAN NAMED ROVE
BUT TO KEEP HIS JOB, BUSH HAS GOT TO BE A FLIP-FLOPPING LIAR
FLIP-FLOPPING LIAR

EV’RY PHONY PROMISE, EV’RY PHONY CLAIM
THEY WRAP IN A FLAG AND A PHONY NAME
SO HE GIVES SPEECHES TO THE BUSSED-IN CROWDS
IT’S NO EASY JOB, BECAUSE BUSH IS SUCH A FLIP-FLOPPING LIAR
FLIP-FLOPPING LIAR
FLIP-FLOPPING LIAR

WHILE THEIR TAX CUT SCAM RAISED THE DEFICIT
THEY’RE ALL SO RICH, THEY DON’T GIVE A SHIT
AND THEY’RE MAKING PROFITS OFF THEIR DIRTY WAR
SO BE A PATRIOT, AND JUST CALL BUSH A FLIP-FLOPPING LIAR
FLIP-FLOPPING LIAR

IF YOU DARE CROSS THEM, THEY’LL EXPOSE YOUR WIFE
IF THEY CLAIM THEY’RE HELPING JUST EXPECT MORE STRIFE
WHILE YOU COUNT THE CHILDREN WHO GET LEFT BEHIND
PASS THE KOOL-AID UP AND REMEMBER HE’S A FLIP-FLOPPING LIAR
FLIP-FLOPPING LIAR
FLIP-FLOPPING LIAR

8. BRAVO!

"Come little bubble boy, come and slap the table" - LMAO!
:yourock:

[nostamj]

14. why thank you....

I was very happy with that line myself...

[nostamj]

15. why thank you....

I was very happy with that line myself...

[Sabriel]

9. You forgot "Come, Mr. Taliban, tally me the losses." n/t

[nostamj]

11. i considered something like that

but, it really didn't fit the concept of the parody, which was *'s debate performance last night.

[chaska]

10. I thought he was talking about Pago Pago in American Samoa...

As in, "I wish I were in Pago Pago instead of here. Samoa will be nice when the election is over and I can retire."

[nostamj]

12. I found out *after* I wrote this

that "paygo" is a legit shortening of "Pay As You Go" but, it sure sounded STUUUPID last night in the context of the debate...

[nostamj]

18. a little kick for the evening gang.... n/t

[laruemtt]

20. i love it - brilliant!! :=)

[nostamj]

21. thanks! was just talking to my collaborator

MAYBE we'll insert this into the LAST performance of 'the Question W Revue'

MAYBE!

[laruemtt]
